I became the pastor of Valley Mission Nazarene Church in September of 2001. Previous to coming to Indiana I served at a Nazarene church in Michigan. In November of 1980 I married Beth Smith and have been blessed with three biological daughters, two adopted twin girls and two beautiful granddaughters. Prior to entering the ministry I served as a design engineer and CAD operations shift manager for three companies. Beth & I have been foster parents to over forty children. I attended Gods Bible School & College in Cincinnati Ohio, majoring in Christian Education. I was ordained in the church of the Nazarene in 2005. I traveled and sang bass with the Tri-State Quartet for nearly five years, and have been involved in radio broadcasting for many years. An avid NASCAR fan, I love almost any sporting event as well as spending time with my family. My life verse is 1st Timothy 1:12 “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.”
